The most common malfunctions and their elimination

The Tomahawk 9010 system may experience errors that prevent it from being used normally.

The reasons that cause problems with this system include:

• broken battery;
• the vehicle is in a radio interference zone;
• lack of conditions for wave transmission;
• wear and tear of the security system itself;
• failure to synchronize the car with the remote control.

The video shows a brief overview of the 9010 model. Courtesy of the channel Alexey Viselovsky.

The battery has failed

This is the most common and easily fixable problem. Perhaps the battery is dead, which can be guessed in advance by the dimmed screen of the remote control. The reason may also be an incorrectly installed battery.

The manufacturer recommends using AAA alkaline batteries to replace the battery in the Tomahawk 9010 key fob.

To resolve the issue, the user needs to remove and reinstall the battery. If this does not solve the problem, then replace it with a new one.

Correct battery replacement in Tomahawk 9010:

1. Open the key fob cover.
2. Remove the old battery.
3. Press the trunk release button.
4. Insert a new battery.
5. Close the key fob cover.
6. Press the trunk release button.

Press the trunk open button Insert a new battery

Being in a radio interference zone

Being near cash collectors' vehicles or near airports and shopping centers may cause radio interference - a parameter that interferes with the normal operation of the Tomahawk system.

In this case, try a number of actions:

• bring the key fob as close as possible to the location of the security system sensor;
• click the Override button;
• evacuate the car from the radio interference zone to a distance of 200 meters.

No conditions for wave transmission

During severe frosts, the voltage on the car battery may not be enough to start the car or unlock the doors. In this situation, only solving the problem with a faulty battery will help; it needs to be charged.

Damage to the key fob itself is also possible, which occurs due to frequent involuntary presses, in which case it will need to be repaired.

Wear and tear of the security system

Over time, the security system wears out - mechanical breakdowns of the transmitter receiving antenna appear, as well as wear and tear on the key fob or unit itself. Unfortunately, in this case, the problem can only be resolved by replacing or repairing the devices at a service center. It is not recommended to carry out such repair work yourself.

If you have a spare key fob, connect it to the system:

Problems synchronizing the remote control with the car

In a situation where the key fob has lost contact with the car and control of the alarm has become impossible, you will have to open the car with the key and use the emergency shutdown function.

Sequence of actions for emergency shutdown:

1. Open the car with the key.
2. Start the ignition.
3. Press the Override button 4 times.
4. Turn off the ignition.

These actions will be followed by two sound signals and double flashing of the car lights, indicating an emergency shutdown of the alarm. If this method does not help, then the system is faulty. It is necessary to contact a service center in order to repair the alarm or adjust the settings.

Instructions on how to reset settings to factory defaults

In order to reset the Tomahawk 9010 system settings to factory settings, according to the instruction manual, it is recommended to do the following:

1. Turn on the ignition.
2. Press the Override button 10 times.
3. Turn off the ignition (confirmation - 10 siren sounds).
4. Press the Override button 1 time (confirmation - 1 siren sound).
5. Press the button with the image of the locks on the key fob.
6. Turn on the ignition. The side lights will flash 5 times. All manipulations should be carried out without delay.

It is not recommended to reset the Tomahawk 9010 to factory settings yourself; for this it is better to contact qualified specialists.

This can happen near home, work, or at the most inopportune moment when you urgently need to go. The reasons can be different: from a dead battery to failure of the main alarm unit.

Snap Tomahawk 9010

The Tomahawk TW 9010 car alarm with auto start can support work with 4 pagers. This also applies to the TZ 9010 model. Setting up one or all remote controls for these anti-theft systems can be done in several stages in different ways. The first option in accordance with the operating instructions is as follows.

1. You must turn the ignition key to put it in the on position. The car engine should not be running, that is, it should be turned off.
2. After this, you need to press the OVERRIDE service mode button and hold until 4 siren signals sound. This will indicate that you can begin setting up your communicator.
3. Then you need to release the service mode button.
4. After this, you need to press and simultaneously hold down the keys marked “open trunk” and “activate silent security” until a signal sounds that would confirm the installation of a new remote control in the system (one-time beep for the 1st key fob pager, two for the 2nd and etc.). Such a video can always be viewed on some automotive resources.
5. If you do not perform any actions with any of the remote controls for 6 seconds, the setup will stop after that in automatic mode.

All communicators that have not been activated will be deleted from the system.

Firmware and reprogramming of the 9020 remote control

The Tomahawk 9020 alarm system can support up to four pagers. To record them in the memory of the anti-theft system, you need to perform the following steps.

1. Turn off the ignition.
2. Then press the Valet mode button seven times.
3. After this, you need to turn on the ignition. To confirm entry into the remote control settings, the siren should emit 7 signals.
4. At this step, you need to press the buttons with the picture of “open trunk” and “silent security mode”. They must be held simultaneously for 1 second. If all actions are performed correctly, the system will write the key fobs into memory (for the first remote control - 1 signal, for the second - 2, etc.).

All pagers not participating in the binding will be deleted from the system.

Setting up the Tomahawk 9030 alarm remote control

Then the ignition key must be turned to the “On” position, after which seven siren signals should sound. The system can now be reprogrammed.

On the key fob, which is to be linked to the control unit, you must simultaneously press the buttons marked “open trunk” and “crossed out speaker”, as stated in the operating instructions. The keys must be pressed and released after the sound signal sounds. The system will confirm the binding of the new device with CHIRPs (for the 1st key fob 1 beep, for the 2nd - 2, etc.).

The system will automatically exit service mode within 6 seconds after the last action performed.

Adding a new X3 pager

The Tomahawk X3 model can support work with 4 key fobs. To add them you need to do the following:

1. Set the ignition key to the “Off” position.
2. Press the OVERRIDE button.
3. Turn on the ignition.
4. Press the key fob buttons with the “closed lock” and “open lock” markers until the siren signal sounds. For the first communicator there will be one signal, for the second - two, etc.
5. After this, turn off the ignition. The headlights should flash 5 times, which will indicate successful recording of communicators into the security system memory. All remote controls that are planned to be used in the future must be subjected to this procedure.

Exit from the copybook mode will occur after 15 seconds of inactivity.

Setting the X5 Switch Timing

Before using the Tomahawk X5 car alarm, you must program a new key fob. This action is carried out in several stages.

Specifications

Review of the main properties and parameters of the Tomahawk Z5 car alarm:

1. The current consumption of the security device when the ignition system is turned off is no more than 16 mA.
2. To connect the transceiver (antenna module) with the car alarm key fob (remote control, pager, communicator), a radio channel is used, the operating frequency of which is 433.92 MHz.
3. FM modulation is used to send data.
4. The range of the main pager when operating in command sending mode is about 1.2 km. This indicator is calculated by the manufacturer under ideal conditions. The operating radius is affected by the weather, the development and architecture of the area, the presence of transformer substations and other sources of interference near the car. Also, the range of operation depends on the charge of the battery in the key fob.
5. The maximum permissible current value at the output of the starter mechanism, power supply line and ignition system is 30 amperes.
6. The execution of the command to close the door locks is configured so that it is carried out with a time delay that is selected by the consumer. This parameter can be 0.8, 3.6 or 30 seconds.
7. The permissible current level at the outputs of auxiliary channels for connecting additional equipment is not higher than 300 mA.
8. The output for connecting a siren is programmable by the user. In addition, the consumer has the opportunity to connect a standard steering horn (horn) to play alarm signals.

The Do-It-Yourself Auto Repair channel briefly talked about the technical parameters and functionality of the Tomahawk Z5.

Advantages and disadvantages

In accordance with the reviews, we highlight the main advantages of the alarm:

1. Availability of autorun option. Most users highlight this advantage and claim that the power unit activation function works remotely without any complaints. Regardless of engine and gearbox type.
2. A clear guide, thanks to which the car owner will be able to independently install and configure the anti-theft system.
3. Possibility of requesting the status of the anti-theft system using the control panel.
4. A powerful and loud signal that can scare away potential intruders.
5. Affordable price. According to many users, this alarm is the best option in terms of cost and quality.
6. If necessary, you can disable false positives.

But along with these advantages, consumers also highlight disadvantages:

1. The anti-theft system is defenseless when using a grabber. Despite the anti-grabber function, attackers can still hack a car alarm.
2. Low range. According to some consumers, the alarm range is less than one kilometer.
3. The anti-theft system is subject to interference. Drivers living in large cities note that sometimes it is impossible to turn on or turn off the alarm in the center of a populated area. This occurs due to interference blocking the signal.
4. Sometimes the anti-theft system freezes, we are talking specifically about the key fob. The driver sends a command from the remote control, but it does not reach the control unit.

The Do-It-Yourself Auto Repair channel examined in detail all the features of the Tomahawk X5 anti-theft system in its video.

Equipment

This model includes the following items:

1. Main electronic unit. It is an executive device, used to transmit, receive and process commands.
2. Communicator with display and two-way communication function. The device operates on the principle of a remote control - the consumer sends a signal by pressing a key. The microprocessor module receives the pulse and processes it, after which the command is processed and executed.
3. Spare pager. It is not equipped with a screen and does not have a two-way communication function. The range of the device will be low compared to the main communicator.
4. Two-level kick controller. Designed to determine any impact on the car body.
5. Transceiver module. Designed to receive and send signals between a microprocessor device and a pager.
6. Siren.

Alarm kit Tomahawk Z5

The package includes one push-button switch for the hood; the remaining limit switches will have to be purchased separately.

Autorun doesn't work

Some netizens complain that the car does not start from autostart or that the engine warms up by the hour. These are the consequences of a violation of one of the Tomahawk X 5 alarm units or the mode activation technology. The source may also be the vehicle's on-board circuit. Usually, if the required sequence of actions is not included, the problem must be looked for in one of the indicated directions.

1. Battery drain. To remotely start a motor, a higher starting current is required than with a standard start. Usually the car makes two or three attempts and does not start, after which it sends a signal to the key fob. You can charge or change the battery.
2. Preliminary preparation was not performed correctly. Drivers often forget to put the car on the handbrake or take it out of gear.
3. Engine control is not programmed. There is a technical failure within the control unit itself. It can be solved by diagnosing the corresponding element or replacing it.
4. Contacts are coming off or terminals are oxidized. A common reason is when the car is parked in a damp box or on the street. To correct the situation, simply clean and crimp all connections.
5. Freezing of lubricants inside the crankcase compartments. Thick oil prevents the crankshaft and gearbox drives from turning. It is usually eliminated by setting a shorter relay response interval or increasing the antifreeze temperature at which the mode is activated. How to change the time for automatic heating can be found in the instructions.
6. Mechanical damage or exposure to large amounts of water. Consequence of unsuccessful car wash or repair. Solved by drying or replacing damaged parts.

How to install?

Please note the following installation requirements before installation:

1. Concealment of places where the electronic unit, sensors, and siren are installed.
2. To prevent rapid failure of devices, they should be placed as far as possible from sources of moisture and heat.
3. It is advisable that there are no electronic devices near the Tomahawk system units. Their presence may cause interference with the system.

General map of connecting elements to the block

Mounting features of Tomahawk Z5:

The microprocessor device is located inside the car. Its installation under the hood or in the trunk is not allowed. The transceiver module is installed as high as possible in the car interior. This will ensure maximum operating range of the communicator. But when installing the antenna, remember that there should be no metal products, electronic devices, or wiring harnesses near this device. Otherwise, the range of the communicator will be limited. The siren should be located in the engine compartment. The installation location should not be accessible to a criminal. If, instead of a standard device, an autonomous device is used, with its own battery, then after installation the consumer should have free access to the keyhole. The device is installed with the horn facing down to prevent moisture from accumulating inside the siren. It is recommended to make connections for electrical circuits inside the car, this will prevent oxidation of the contacts. An additional engine temperature controller is placed under the hood and can be fixed to the cylinder block. This way, information about the engine temperature will be most accurate. If the additional controller is waterproof, it can be installed in one of the cooling system lines

It is important to securely fix the device in the seat. When connecting high-current electrical circuits, the wiring must be protected with safety devices. When choosing a fuse rating, take into account the technical data of the devices to which the wires are connected

We are talking about car optical devices, central locking, power, etc. Limit switches must be installed so that when the trunk door or hood is closed, there is no access to these devices. From time to time, limit switches must be treated with lubricants to prevent corrosion. The shock controller is installed inside the car. It is best to place the device in the central part of the body. The sensor is attached to the body itself using glue or self-tapping screws. Installation of additional controllers is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturers. During installation, it is necessary to ensure the maximum quality of operation of the devices. Contact elements in places where the electrical circuits of the starter device and ignition are broken should be soldered. After soldering, they can be additionally installed in heat-shrinkable tubes.

The hardest part is changing the code

Let's open the instructions and see what is recommended to do to change the value 1-1:

1. The ignition must be turned off.
2. The service button is pressed 4 times.
3. The ignition is turned on, and the siren connected to the alarm emits 4 beeps.
4. The OVERRIDE button, that is, the service button, is pressed 1 time.
5. The car alarm comes with two key fobs, a main one and an additional one. Using any of them, set the first digit (see figure).
6. Wait for the siren to sound.
7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to enter the second digit of the code.

Each button corresponds to one of the following values:

Main key fob X5

You can set absolutely any code from 1-1 to 4-4. For example, this one: 2-3.

The sequence given above was copied from the instructions for the Tomahawk X5 signal. It is possible that the algorithm itself is suitable for other alarms, but the numbering of the keys for them may differ

This is important, since entering the code value when the key fob is missing must be done with the OVERRIDE button. Let's say the “lock-trunk” sequence is selected

What numbers does it correspond to? The answer to this question needs to be known exactly.

Description

Tomahawk x5 is a progressive new generation model equipped with feedback and the ability to remotely start the car engine.

The set consists of two key fobs, the 1st with feedback and a liquid crystal monitor (information is displayed in the form of icons and pictures), also with an increased (up to 1200 m) range of influence, the 2nd car key fob is standard, without a screen, waterproof.

In addition to visual display, the car key fob has an audible warning and vibration mode. Elegant, modern design, control keys have been moved to the side of the key fob, which made it possible to place a wide, convenient screen with a clear interface on the outside.

How to install?

You can install and connect the anti-theft system yourself. Using the diagram specified in the package, you can connect all the elements of the car alarm.

How to install the alarm:

Select a location to install the control module. The central unit must be located in a place inaccessible to an attacker

It is important that it is dry. When choosing a place to install the central unit, keep in mind that exposure to high temperatures and moisture will cause it to break.

Most often, the unit is placed under the center console, behind the glove compartment or dashboard. The latter option is considered optimal, since with such a location an attacker will have to spend more time gaining access to the device. To install, remove the steering column trims. Securely fix the block with self-tapping screws so that it does not vibrate during movement. Open the hood and select a location to mount the siren. This device should be installed with the horn facing sideways or upwards. If it is directed downward, dirt may stick to it, which will subsequently cause the device to not function properly. The siren must be installed as far as possible from the engine. Exposure to high temperatures from the power unit will damage the device. The wires from the siren must be routed through a special technological hole from the engine compartment into the passenger compartment. An antenna adapter with an LED indicator is mounted on the windshield. The antenna must be fixed so that it is at least 5 cm away from the metal parts of the body. If the transceiver is located close to metal, signal transmission will occur with interference. Such a location will reduce the range of the alarm. In some cases, the “signaling” will not respond at all to commands sent by the remote control. Install the shock sensor. It is better to place it in the central part of the body, for example, under the seats or behind the headliner. If several sensitivity controllers are used, it is better to place them around the perimeter of the body. The sensors are fixed with self-tapping screws. The temperature sensor is installed in the engine compartment. The controller crashes into the cooling system pipe. This place is the most optimal. Securely fix the sensor so that it does not come off and go along the system lines. The blocking relay is installed on the ignition switch. When all alarm components are installed, the wires are laid and connected to the central unit. The cables are laid under the car interior lining and thresholds. During installation, make sure that the electrical circuits are not affected by moving mechanisms. Otherwise the wires will be damaged.

About the included software options

Setting up tomahawk alarm 434mhz frequency

There are several options that are responsible for autorun. Only one of them requires precise decoding; the rest are described in detail in a special table that the manufacturer attaches to its devices.

1. You can control the motor with your own hands depending on the indicators on the tachometer.
2. The oil pressure lamp must be connected to the control cord.
3. The engine is easily controlled by voltage indicators. Only the gray cord, which is related to connector X3, should remain unconnected.

The connection method determines which settings a particular buyer will choose. Some advise using the first option and say that then there will definitely be no problems with autostart.

Alarm functions

The Tomahawk Z5 system has wide functionality:

1. Anti-grabber. With its help, the user can protect the anti-theft system from interception of signals by code grabbers or scanners. The attacker uses the resulting code to hack the alarm system.
2. The use of several protection zones to protect a vehicle, each of which functions autonomously. They are used to prevent the locks of doors, trunk, hood, etc. from being hacked.
3. Automatic activation of security mode. If the user accidentally disables the protection, the alarm will automatically activate it. This will happen if the consumer does not open any doors. The security mode is turned on after a certain time interval, which is configured by the user in accordance with the Tomahawk Z5 instructions.
4. Option for silent activation and deactivation of protection. When the security system is turned on or off, the siren does not sound.
5. Using the protective function on a car with the engine running.
6. Disabling the security mode in two stages. The first is to open the door locks for access to the vehicle interior, the second is to disable the ignition system and engine lock. This option is programmable and user configurable.
7. The use of built-in relays for blocking the power unit and connecting car optics.
8. Delay in operation of the lighting system in the vehicle interior. When security is activated, the lamp will work for a certain time, which is configured by the user.
9. Bypassing a faulty protection zone when activating and disabling the security mode. Information about this is displayed on the key fob display.
10. Use of built-in central locking (CL).
11. "Panic". When this option is enabled, the vehicle's headlights and siren (horn) are activated. The function is triggered by a command from a pager and can be used to scare potential intruders away from the car.
12. "Anti-robbery." This function is intelligent and allows you to stop and block the motor in the event of a robbery or violent seizure. The operation of the option is based on the readings of controllers installed on the handbrake and brake pedal. If they send a signal to the control unit about a robbery, the power unit will stop.
13. Remote adjustment of shock and sensitivity sensors by level. The user can disable the regulator's warning zone or the entire device.
14. Use the built-in alarm, clock and current time. The information is displayed on the screen of the main communicator.
15. Blocking pager buttons. With this function, the user can prevent the keys on the key fob from being accidentally pressed.
16. "Search". When this option is enabled, the vehicle's headlights light up several times. This will allow you to determine the location of a car left in a large parking lot.
17. Remote control of the luggage compartment lock. Implementation of this function is possible with proper connection and use of an additional channel.
18. Warning the consumer about unlocked doors when driving.
19. Monitoring the temperature level under the hood of the car, as well as in its interior. The data is displayed on the key fob screen.
20. "Turbo timer". A function for diesel engines that allows you to prevent rapid wear of the structural elements of the power unit. Its essence lies in the fact that after the ignition is turned off, the engine will run for a certain time at idle speed (usually several minutes, configured by the user). After this, it will stall on its own.

Page 14

For vehicles with a turbocharged engine, a turbo timer function is provided.
If this function is activated, the engine, after turning off the ignition, continues to run for the programmed time (see the remote start function programming table).

To implement this function on a vehicle with a manual transmission, it is necessary to use the automatic mode of preparation for remote start (see paragraph 17).

User manual

The manual for the use of the Tomahawk X5 alarm system contains a detailed description of all its functions, including auto-starting the engine and arming the car. The use of any options on the communicator is accompanied by sound and light signals from the device.

How to activate protection mode?

Arming the Tomahawk X5 signaling system:

1. On the main remote control, a key in the shape of a locked pad “clicks.” The vehicle's optical devices will flash.
2. Activation of the protective mode is accompanied by a short siren signal.
3. If your car has window closers, the power windows will close them.
4. In the case when the alarm plays 4 pulses with a siren, this indicates the presence of problem security zones. For example, the driver did not fully lock one of the doors, the hood or the luggage compartment. Also, Tomahawk X5 can react in a similar way to the lowered parking brake lever. The communicator display will display a non-working security zone. If the driver corrects the problem, the system will automatically turn on protection mode.

In the case when it is necessary to activate the security without sound, the activation steps are performed as follows:

1. On the control panel, press the mute key with a crossed out speaker. You need to “click” on it once briefly.
2. When turned on, all alerts and warnings from the alarm control unit will be transmitted to the key fob. The siren will not work.
3. After pressing the button, the vehicle's optical devices will blink once.
4. An indicator in the form of a car with a locked lock and a crossed out steering horn will appear on the communicator screen.

User Elisey Churikov showed the operation of the security mode on a car with a Tomahawk X5 alarm system.

Activation of security with the engine running

With the engine running, activation of protection on the Tomahawk X5 alarm is performed as follows:

1. The driver leaves the vehicle interior and locks all doors, including the hood and luggage compartment.
2. The button with the indicator of the locked lock and the “Zz” symbols is pressed. All door devices will close.
3. Then, within 3 seconds, the same key must be pressed again. The alarm will be activated by a siren and optical devices. To disable the function, use a button in the form of an open lock with a key.

Automatic arming

You need to program the auto-arming of the car for protection using the Tomahawk X5 key fob as follows:

1. On the communicator, a key is pressed and held in the form of a locked lock. The keychain should emit a melodic impulse.
2. The status LED will change color if a spare device is in use. Instead of red it will blink green.
3. The siren will sound once. 10 seconds after performing these actions, the security will be activated.
4. An indicator in the form of a car with the inscription “AUTO ARM” will appear on the screen of the main communicator.

How to disable security mode?

To deactivate the protection function on the Tomahawk X5 alarm key fob, press the key with the open lock and key. The vehicle's optical devices will operate twice and the siren will emit a double signal. If silent security has been turned on, no sound pulses will sound. The car door locks will open.

Security mode management

You can disarm the car, as well as turn on the security mode, without using the key fob, for which you press the OVERRIDE button in the required sequence. The point is that when using the code, the button must be pressed a certain number of times. You can disable its use by setting option 15 to "1". The Tomahawk X5 system will then return to standard mode, requiring you to enter a single number (three) instead of a PIN code.

How to disable security

So, try turning off the security mode with the OVERRIDE button:

1. Open the door;
2. Without closing the door, turn on the ignition;
3. Within 5 seconds, start entering the first digit by pressing the OVERRIDE button;
4. Turn off the ignition and turn it on again;
5. Repeat step 3 for the second digit of the code;
6. Be sure to turn off the ignition.

As you can see, the sequence looks easy. But if option 15 is set to 1, everything will look simpler: in step 3, press the button three times and immediately go to step 6. Make sure of this by reading the instructions.

Control without code

During operation, the following was noticed: in steps 3 and 5, the button must be pressed “measuredly”, just as during programming. Otherwise, the meaning is not perceived. When setting a PIN code, such problems do not arise - there the choice is made with a single click. In general, reviews about the operation of the alarm help to learn a lot. We wish you success.

How to activate security mode

The Tomahawk X5 system allows you to turn on the security mode in three main steps:

1. Open the door and turn on the ignition;
2. The OVERRIDE button is pressed three times;
3. Turn off the ignition.

Having configured the car alarm to use a PIN code, the sequence is still used the same. 20 seconds after step 3, the following must be done: the doors are closed, there are no passengers in the cabin. Then the security mode is turned on.

Let option 15 be assigned the value “not 1”. You can find out if this is true by looking at the display status:

Main key fob screen

If the PIN CODE sign is lit, it means the PIN code is in use. There are reviews that say that the indicator itself is useless. Although, everything works without errors.

The security system is equipped with two types of key fobs.

Picture 1

— a key fob with LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) displays information about the vehicle’s condition using pictograms (icons).

Figure 2

— standard type keychain, waterproof (optional).

3. Remote control key fobs

The LCD key fob is a miniature transceiver powered by

AAA-1.5 V batteries, the service life of which depends on operating conditions.

Don't forget to change the battery in advance!

The key fobs have four control buttons: kn. , book , book and book . At

By pressing one button or a combination of buttons, the built-in processor generates a coded command that is executed by the main unit. Each subsequent code is different from the previous one (anti-grabber). After executing the command, the main unit sends a message about execution to all key fobs with an LCD display programmed into memory.

How to install

The principles of connecting a car alarm are described in detail in the installation instructions for X 5. It should be mounted in a moisture-proof place away from heat sources and components of the car’s standard electronics.

It is important that the alarm units are not visible in the cabin. Before installing the system, you need to turn off the on-board power to the machine by disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery

The transmitting antenna should be installed as high as possible to improve signal quality. It should be as far as possible from the control units of the security system and the vehicle. The siren is mounted in an inaccessible place in the engine compartment with the horn facing down. The temperature sensor is attached to the engine or under the hood. The best place for the shock sensor is the center of the car.
